I need to get a smoker of some kind. I looked at the one that Cape recommended to me, but I'm not sure I can get behind going electric. I just picture Myron looking at that thing, slowly shaking his head with a dismissive frown on his face. I've got a nice built-in propane grill, but my charcoal grill got thunder****ed by a 150-pound chubnk of ice at the old house, and I've held off on replacing it because I know the ones I see at The Depot are junk that will rust out in two seasons.

Other than getting an old oil tank and cutting it up, any recommendations?

I have an electric. There is nothing wrong with it. It is easy to use, not as much work, and there is nothing better than having a remote. Who wants to constantly check the smoker in the cold winter? Smoker temp and internal temp from the couch, nothing better.

Understood. I'm not saying my hesitation to go electric is completely rational. Electric's probably the best choice for smoking malt, since it seems like it's got to be easier to keep the temp on the low side. And I've got an outlet right there on the patio, so it would be all kinds of convenient.
